Case Studies

JNBridgePro has helped many companies achieve success with their Java and .NET interoperability needs. Here is a sampling of case studies outlining the focus of the project, solution, and results.

Small ISV Wins Big Business

4th Story, a small ISV, needed to adapt high-performance, real-time .NET-based trading algorithms to support a large bank's automated trading activity through the bank's custom Java API. By using JNBridgePro to easily consume the Java API and call it from the .NET applications just as if the API were written in .NET, 4th Story achieved a huge time-to-market advantage.

Online Testing Service Adds Biometric Identification

KRYTERION needed to add a third-party sophisticated .NET-based biometric identification system to an online testing service that runs on an existing J2EE backend. KRYTERION used JNBridgePro to analyze the .NET API and produce a proxy API on the Java side that could be called directly from Java, saving between 200-300 hours of their development cycle.

JNBridgePro Connects Societe Generale's Excel Trading Application Clients to WebLogic Server

The new Java-based Equity Derivatives post-trade information system needed to interoperate with Excel clients in a highly performant manner while keeping the communications layers separate from the business logic. Societe Generale used JNBridgePro to bridge between COM and the Java API.

Check 21 Application Links OnDemand Content Management System with ASP.NET using JNBridgePro

In order to take full advantage of Check 21, a large U.S. retail bank needed to retrieve check and statement images stored on an IBM OnDemand mainframe system and deliver them through ASP.NET to the user's browser. By using JNBridgePro the bank avoided a 6-month delay for Java training and saved over $200,000 in software licensing costs.

KLA-Tencor Links Java and .NET, Saves U.S.$1.6 Million

KLA-Tencor, which provides process control solutions for semiconductor manufacturers, recently sought to migrate from Java to Microsoft .NET, but it had thousands of lines of code that would have to be rewritten at a high cost. KLA-Tencor deployed JNBridgePro, allowing the company to access larger amounts of data across the Java and the .NET boundary, and at the same time boost its performance. This solution reduced both the development time and the risk of rewriting and converting the existing code base. It also saved the company U.S.$1.6 million, the amount it would have cost to rewrite the code.

Ericsson Mobility World has demonstrated building telecom applications on the .NET platform using the NRG Parlay API and JNBridgePro. The results of their case study have been packaged in a development kit called ParlayOn.NetCDK, available on "Telecom Service Layer APIs enabled on .NET".

Istante Software Uses JNBridgePro to Deliver a C#-based .NET Product to Java-based UNIX Platforms

Istante Software needed to offer two versions of its product: a Java version for UNIX based platforms and the original .NET version for Windows platforms. As a complete conversion or code rewrite didn’t make business or practical sense, Istante needed an alternative that allowed for code reuse, provided high performance, enabled the existing front-end code to stay stable, and offered a sufficiently fine-grained degree of control.

Istante RTS is now Oracle BAM.

Financialware Uses JNBridgePro to Interoperate with a Partner's J2EE Application

As part of a partnering agreement, Financialware needed to create a high-performance .NET to Java interoperability bridge within a very short timeframe. Financialware's existing code included C# and ASP.NET applications while the new partner used J2EE. The integration to the partner's IBM WebSphere J2EE application needed to be seamless and perform to the expectations set by other high- volume transactional protocols.

e-CC Development Creates Large- Scale Call Center Application with JNBridgePro

e-CC Development developed a back office integration solution for a large call center client. The interoperability challenge was to integrate synchronous "pushed" messages from a BEA WebLogic Server back end to a Visual Basic .NET desktop application.

E-Crossnet Selects JNBridgePro for Java/.NET Interoperability in a New Trading Application

E-Crossnet developed a tool to enable a .NET reporting component to communicate with an existing Java/JMS backend system. After exploring a number of interoperability options, E-Crossnet selected JNBridgePro to solve their Java/.NET interoperability requirements.
